May 22, 2008 - Activision made the details of the next full Guitar Hero game official in a news release today, confirming the info about the game revealed last week in Game Informer.
Guitar Hero World Tour will feature a set of instruments, including guitar, drums and microphone, and will allow players to compose, record, edit and share their own creations via an in-game studio tool.
"Guitar Hero has set the standard for music-based gaming and with Guitar Hero World Tour and the game's groundbreaking Music Studio, we are once again delivering unprecedented innovation that has the potential to revolutionize consumer generated music, much in the same way that video sharing hubs have driven user generated video," said Dusty Welch, Head of Publishing for RedOctane. "With the introduction of our advanced high-quality new wireless instruments, in-depth customization options and advanced online functionality, the game enables music fans and gamers globally to share in the most social and expressive music experience ever."
The Activision release re-iterates the details revealed last week and adds that the Guitar Hero World Tour will include Battle of the Bands mode which allows eight players to join online and challenge each other band-to-band.
World Tour will also offer downloadable content for the Wii, making it the first Guitar Hero game to do so.

From what I'm getting out of this announcement is that... it will be a 4 player console game (max). You can achieve up to 8 players via online gaming (4 players per console). But it doesn't sound like it will be an 8 person band. And it will end up being something like a drum-off between bands.
